A Bit Like You And Me Radio

Cyrus Erie - Sparrow (1969)

During the mid-1960s, Eric Carmen was a pretty big fan of Cleveland, Ohio’s biggest local band, The Choir. Previously featured on our site, The Choir once auditioned Carmen to see if he could join the band. Carmen’s audition didn’t go well and the group chose someone else. Frustrated, Carmen joined another local band, this group, and soon took them to the top as Cleveland’s most popular local band. Within a short time, Carmen would persuade The Choir’s guitarist, Wally Bryson, to join his new group. By the end of the ‘60s, both The Choir and this group had disbanded. Three guys who had been in The Choir, including Bryson, joined Carmen to create the ‘70s power pop group, Raspberries.
